Abstract
Description
Konstellationen von Satelliten gewinnen in allen Anwendungsbereichen, wie Kommunikation, Navigation und Wissenschaft immer mehr Bedeutung. Um die Startkosten niedrig zu halten, werden immer mehr Mehrfachstarts durchgeführt. Zur Zeit sind Mehrfachstarts in separaten Strukturen wie bei ARIANE/SOYUZ oder mit zwei und mehreren Satelliten, die lateral um einen Adapter angeordnet sind üblich (Globalstar). Diese Anordnung lässt eine laterale Separation der Satelliten zu. Neuere Satelliten wie Teledesic und TerraSar verlangen aufgrund ihrer geometrischen Vorgaben (z.B. Antennengröße) eine parallel, achsiale Anordnung mehrerer Satelliten auf einem Adapter.Constellations of satellites gain in all areas of application, such as communication, Navigation and science are becoming increasingly important. To start up keep low, more and more multiple starts are carried out. For now are multiple starts in separate structures like ARIANE / SOYUZ or with two and several satellites laterally arranged around an adapter (Globalstar). This arrangement allows the satellites to be separated laterally. newer Satellites like Teledesic and TerraSar require due to their geometric Specifications (e.g. antenna size) a parallel, axial arrangement of several satellites on an adapter.
Zur Separation der axial angeordneten Satelliten gibt es mehrere Möglichkeiten:
Aus US 5 860 624 ist es bekannt, einen oder mehrere Satelliten mittels zweier Klemmringe pro Satellit am Raketen-Adapter anzubringen. Die Klemmringe sind die mittels eines Gelenks miteinander verbunden sind. Beide Ringe sind übereinanderliegend angeordnet. Mittels Federkraft und des Gelenks wird der zu startende Satellit in eine geschwenkte Lage gebracht und gestartet. Die beiden übereinanderliegenden Klemmringe müssen so dimensioniert werden, dass jeder die gesamten Kräfte während der Startphase aufnehmen und weiterleiten kann.From US 5 860 624 it is known to use one or more satellites by means of two Attach clamping rings per satellite to the missile adapter. The clamping rings are the ones are connected to each other by means of a joint. Both rings are on top of each other arranged. The satellite to be launched is moved by means of spring force and the joint brought into a swiveled position and started. The two superimposed Clamping rings must be dimensioned so that everyone has all the forces can record and forward during the start-up phase.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Separationsrahmen zu schaffen, der die Kräfte
in der Startphase sicher aufnimmt und bei geringem Eigengewicht des Rahmens
eine problemlose Separation der Satelliten ermöglicht.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Hauptanspruch gelöst. Die Unteransprüche betreffen
vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung.The object of the invention is to provide a separation frame that safely absorbs the forces in the start-up phase and enables the satellites to be separated easily with a low weight of the frame.
This problem is solved by the main claim. The subclaims relate to advantageous refinements of the invention.

Zwischen jedem Satelliten 2, 4 und dem Raketenadapter 6 befindet sich ein Separationsrahmen 8. Dieser Separationsrahmen 8 besteht aus folgenden Bauelementen:
äusserer Rahmen 10 undinnerer Rahmen 12- Separationsfedern 14 (zwischen innerem Rahmen und Satelliten)

Der Separationsrahmen 8 besteht aus zwei gegeneinander beweglichen Rahmen 10,
12. Der grössere, äussere Rahmen 10 wird mit dem Launcher Interface verbunden.
Der kleinere, innere Rahmen 12 ist gelenkig am grösseren Rahmen 10 gelagert und
dreht den Satellit in die gewünschte Trennposition, in welcher der Rahmen von einer
Verriegelung gehalten wird.The
Montage des Satelliten und Separationsrahmens:Assembly of the satellite and separation frame:
Der komplette Rahmen 8, bestehend aus innerem Rahmen 12 und äusserem
Rahmen 10, kann vorintegriert werden:
Während der Startphase werden die Startkräfte des Satelliten über die Satellitenseparationsbolzen
24 durch den äusseren Separationsrahmen 10 direkt in den
Raketenadapter 6 geleitetet. Der innere Separationsrahmen 12 ist in dieser Phase
zwischen Raketenadapter 6 und Satellit 2, 4 und funktionslos.During the launch phase, the launch forces of the satellite are via the
Die Separation des Satelliten 2 erfolgt in mehreren Stufen:
Vorteile des beschriebenen Verfahrens:
- Weder der separierende Satellit 2 noch die zurückbleibenden Körper 4,6 erfahren eine Rotation während der Separation.
- Die gewählte Ausrichtung zur Sonne und Erde bleibt damit für alle Satelliten erhalten.
- Der Aufwand zur Stabilisierung der Satelliten wird minimal.
- Es besteht keinerlei Gefahr für eine Kollision.
- Die Separation von mehreren Satelliten kann zeitlich so gestaffelt werden, dass eine einfache Kontrolle jedes Satelliten vom Boden aus möglich ist.
- Eigenfrequenzen und Startlasten werden durch den Separationsrahmen nicht verändert.
- Es können beliebig viele Satelliten nacheinander separiert werden.
- Neither the separating
satellite 2 nor the remaining 4, 6 experience rotation during the separation.bodies - The selected orientation to the sun and earth is retained for all satellites.
- The effort to stabilize the satellites is minimal.
- There is no risk of a collision.
- The separation of several satellites can be staggered in time so that each satellite can be easily checked from the ground.
- Natural frequencies and starting loads are not changed by the separation frame.
- Any number of satellites can be separated one after the other.
Beide Rahmen 10, 12 sind an jeweils einem Satelliten 2, 4 mit Separationsmechanismen
angeschraubt. Die beiden Rahmen sind durch zwei einachsige Drehgelenke
18 miteinander verbunden. Nach dem Ausklappen des inneren Rahmens 12 wird die
Endposition durch einen Verriegelungsmechanismus 20 sichergestellt.
Am äusseren Rahmen 10 sitzen in den vier Eckpunkten große Separation-Bolzen 24,
welche die Startlasten des Satelliten zum Launcher Interface übertragen.Both frames 10, 12 are screwed to a
Im äusseren Rahmens 10, den Gelenken gegenüber, befinden sich Kick-Federn 30,
welche nach der Aktivierung der großen Separation-Bolzen 24 dem Satelliten 2 einen
Impuls geben und somit die Rotation von Anfang an unterstützen. An den vorderen
Eckprofilen des äusseren Rahmens sind die Gelenke 18 und Drehfedern 36 für die
Rotation des inneren Rahmens befestigt. In the
Der Satellit ist mit Separation-Bolzen 22 am inneren, drehbaren Rahmen 12 befestigt.
In den Eckprofilen mit den Separation-Bolzen 22 befinden sich auch die Separationsfedern
14, die den Satelliten 2 nach dem Trennen der kleinen Separation-Bolzen 22
mit einer definierten Geschwindigkeit vom Rahmen in Bewegung setzen.
Pro Satellite ist ein Separationsrahmen erforderlich.
Zusammengefasst ist folgender Ablauf gegeben:
- Separation des äußeren Rahmens vom Launcher durch Aktivieren der Separation-Bolzen.
- Start des Ausklappens des inneren Rahmens durch Kick-Federn und Drehfedern.
- Endpositionssicherung durch Verriegelungmechanismus.
- Trennen des Satelliten vom innerem Rahmen durch Aktivieren der Separation-Bolzen.
- Separations-Federn bewegen den Satelliten vom inneren Rahmen fort.
A separation frame is required for each satellite.
In summary, the following sequence is given:
- Separation of the outer frame from the launcher by activating the separation bolts.
- Start of unfolding the inner frame with kick springs and torsion springs.
- End position secured by locking mechanism.
- Separate the satellite from the inner frame by activating the separation bolts.
- Separation springs move the satellite away from the inner frame.
